When I saw this Ted Talk topic I was immediately drawn to it. The title made me think that I was going to be let in on a special secret. The talk is 3:33 and consists of 8 secrets. St. John interviewed 500 successful people, including Bill Gates and Goldie Hawn, over 7 years. Since we weekend college students are embarking on this amazing but gruelling journey I figured we all want to be successful. That's why we're giving up our weekends for 2 years to go to college. Anyway, these are the 8 secrets to success according to Richard St. John.
PASSION - Do it for love, not money
WORK - Work Hard
GOOD - Get good at whatever it is
FOCUS -Self explanatory
PUSH - Push yourself
SERVE - Serve others
IDEAS - have ideas, be curious, listen and observe
PERSISTENCE - #1 and most important
These aren't exactly new ideas but they are certainly worth repeating. We need to be reminded of them from time to time. St. John's Ted Talk reiterated what we all need to be successful.
